Summary

Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, original dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects whose Dimension Text Height property complies with the Query.

Syntax

DimensionTextHeight : Number

Number will follow the measurement units currently employed for the document – either Imperial (mil; 1mil = 0.001inch) or Metric (mm; 1mm = 0.001meter).

A specific option for the measurement unit can be specified – overriding the default units specified at the document level – through use of an additional measurement unit-based keyword:

  • AsMils(DimensionTextHeight) : Number – to specify a height in mil.
  • AsMM(DimensionTextHeight) : Number – to specify a height in mm.

Example Usage

DimensionTextHeight = 60
Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, original dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects that have an Dimension Text Height property which is 60 current measurement units.

DimensionTextHeight >= 1.27
Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, original dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects that have an Dimension Text Height property which is greater than, or equal to, 1.27 current measurement units.

AsMils(DimensionTextHeight) Between 40 And 80
Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, original dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects that have an Dimension Text Height property which is greater than, or equal to, 40mil and less than, or equal to, 80mil.

AsMM(DimensionTextHeight) < 1.778
Returns all angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, original dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects that have an Dimension Text Height property which is less than 1.778mm.

Tips

  1. The Dimension Text Height property is only defined for angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, original dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects.
  2. The child objects of angular dimension, baseline dimension, datum dimension, leader dimension, linear diameter dimension, linear dimension, original dimension, radial diameter dimension, and radial dimension objects returned by the Query, are not returned.
  3. For the original dimension, the value for the Dimension Text Height property follows the value for the dimension's Text Height property.
